Good day Guys,
I'm fairly new here and need some urgent advice as I have had my GCC for over a year now and he was such a happy snuggly lil guy who always were and active until about 3 weeks ago he stopped eating much, falling of the perch and spending most time on the cage floor.
I already did research and finding out those are the main signs of an ill bird, so I got him to the VET they were analyzing and monitoring him, and he had a seizure whilst he was there, so they took extra care and vigilance.
they had done scans and realized that the gizzard of the bird had pushed to the left but can't see what's actually causing it, so they opted to do an InterScope but at my own risk.
With the faith that I have I agreed because I would feel devasted if I didn't try.
so now he's at the next suggested VET to do the InterScope but we were also advised that he's a very young bird and they would have to monitor again and get him much better to do this has anesthetic is normally fatal... bear in mind after the InterScope if there's anything else there they would need to do another surgery to remove if theres a tumor, abscess or whatever
Did anyone have a similar issue, I need some reassurance that's all
I need to know if anyone experienced this with their bird ... I'm sure any of you who have pets don't regard them as just that but also a loved one!
My heart breaks I know it's a risk and I'm liable but if I don't try, I won't know!
